3 Birthdays, a Closet and a Run.

Terry turned 50 on 9/11 and Cyrrena surprised him with a party at the church. He thought he was going to do Stake audit stuff when he came to the primary room but we had cake and festivities instead.

Part of the group...Bohns, Belnaps, Mel Evans, Welches, Farleys, and Smiths. 4 Bros: Grant, Eric, Wayne and Bob. Bob's cake made by Penny Bohn. SI and Kimi showing off their animal prints....so Vegas.

Bob Farley also turned 50 and Kimi surprised him with a "Lucky you are 50 Casino night at Wayne's office. So fun. We had appetizers and games and prizes and cake. We dressed in sparkles or "Vegas" attire. I serenaded him with a rendition of "50 is the Luckiest number..."

My walk in closet is done. It is double the original size. That is reason to celebrate. I loaded it all back in and I can't believe all my stuff. Now I need to clean out. Thanks to nephew Brad Bentley for making this happen. We still have Monson's side to work on.

Laura with Aubrey Whitman. Pres. Taylor is always a good sport.

Our stake had a fun run/ color run. Wayne, Laura and I all volunteered to cut watermelon and feed the messy masses. We had one minute of sunshine inbetween all of the wet weather and boy did people ever get messy!

......and finally our sweet Tami had her 44th birthday. Rain ruined our zip line plans but we went to Charlie Chows and Orange Leaf instead......then played cards. Yeah for wonderful family and friends.

Why I Post

This started out as a blog in my quest for weight loss. But after a year and only gaining weight in the process, I've decided to just write about my thrilling life instead.....so that's why I post.My head will explode if I don't write down all of the flotsam that is in it.

About Me

I'm just a regular mom with big dreams. I love my family and I enjoy being involved in their lives. I married my high school sweet heart in 1983, and I love him more each day. We have made a great life together. I have to be performing in a stage show at least once a year, but I'm having trouble juggling it with all of the travel I enjoy doing. My favorite place to go back to is NYC-- with the great food and Broadway shows.
I love to laugh loudly in movies, plays and in life.
I live on the dark side .... when it comes to chocolate. AND I try to live on the light side when it comes to spiritual things.
